I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
I'm an American but I support the Windies as I have family ties to the islands. Plus, in my time zone so that's cool. I love the team but gently caress everything about the WICB and their useless loving cronies. I do a bit of support for England when I'm visiting there, though.

For Sound Financial Pranning!
American, and I don't really have a team I ceaselessly root for but I end up watching Aus and NZ quite a bit simply because they are the closest to my time zone. (Tests starting 'round 3PM local, ODIs round 5PM), and since NZ is the only place where I've actually watched live cricket.

My favorite players to watch are McCullum and de Villiers. (BOLD CHOICES, I know). I'm really excited to watch my first World Cup - the time zone difference actually works extremely well for me in terms of being able to watch live.

At 3 for 180 in the 33rd, Jayawardene and Sangakara at the crease, it was easily looking like we were going to be facing a total of 300+. Pretty decent crumble by the 'Lankans.

Really rude of Baz to steal Mitch's wicket there by dropping it and then running the guy out.

I am also from NZ although I don't post in here as much as I should.

What happened to Milne? Is it a serious injury?

Also we rely on Kane Williamson so much. I hope he is never seriously injured. Nice to see Elliot get some runs, can imagine the top order batsmen like to have him out there with them.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
Good knock from Elliott, but not quite the 'gently caress you' 100* I was hoping he'd serve up to the talkback dipshits.

Anyone else have issues with the cricket.com.au stream flicking over to live TV every now and then? It's horrifying having Mark Nicholas and Brayshaw invade my pleasant grandstand listening.

Williamson is a gem, for a bloke so young he's got a full command over his own game. NZ are going to be a proper handful at home this WC.

They ware talking about resting him even before that whole incident. I think he's being rested. Dropped for being too much of a oval office? Lol not happening

Yeah, they've already qualified for the final, he's being rested. Warner is our best player, he won't get dropped unless he hits someone again.
